2013 has been a very wonderful scrappy year for me! Here are a few of my unforgettable scrappy moments of 2013:

~ I was on my first manufacturer Design Team - GCD Studios~ I became co-owner of a challenge blog with one of my besties, Brenda R. - Scrap Our Stash

~ I was published in a printed magazine - Scrapbook & Cards.

~ I was published a couple of times in an online magazine - Life. Paper. Scrapbook.

~ I have been fortunate to design for not one, but two of my favorite Kit clubs - Back Porch Memories and The ScrapRoom

~ I went to CHA not once, but TWICE this year! :) - Thank you Paper Secrets

~ My dream home was built & my new neighbor is a passionate crafter like me! - Lisa

~ I went to TWO Sistah's Scrappin' Retreats - Thank you Patricia

~ Lastly, I have met some very awesome crafters this past year and I wish I could name them all here but I am afraid I will miss someone and I don't want to do that. I am so thankful and blessed to have such wonderful inspiration surrounding me! :)

So I will leave 2013 with my last blog post featuring Linnie Blooms Canvas Blank that I altered:

Hey Crafters! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! I can't believe the year is almost over! I do a couple more posts todo before I tuck 2013 away! :)

Today, I am sharing with you my layout I did for Scrap Our Stash sketch with stash challenge. You can see the original challenge informationHERE.

Here is my layout:

The sketch is fromSketch N Scrap. Scrap Our Stash is teaming up with them this month! The SOS challenge is to use 2 different border punches and 1 other punch. I used the scallop border punch under the pink paper and another smaller scallop/lace border punch on the top of the green and white stripped paper. My "other" punch is a small heart punch I used with blue paper. They are located at the bottom of the banner and next to "smile". The collection is by Cosmo Cricket that I received in July 2013 The Scrap Room Kit.
